Too thick!!!!

My 13 year old daughter has the thickest dreads. She has a curlier, fine, thick texture of hair if that makes since?? She's part Cuban and blackShe's had dreads for a little over 2 years and she loves all 62 of them.My concern is with all the looooose hair that comes out of the lock by the root. She can literally take all the loose hair and make new dreads. LolMy other concern is with the thickness??I've had locticians tell me that there is away to split the thicker ones to make 2. Is this possible??? Please help. I would love suggestionsNiki

If you let the loose hairs become their own dreads then you won't have to worry about the pre existing dreads getting too thick. If they get sucked into the other dreads then they may get too big. 62 dreads is fairly average. Are there some that are super thick and others mega thin or are they fairly uniform? I think if the diameter of the base is bigger than an inch they may lean towards the thick side. As far as splitting goes, you run the risk of really damaging the dreads, no matter what the hair dresser says.
